Entropion Question?

Our vet quoted 2100 bucks for the surgery including $200 blood work (thyroid). This seems high based on the internet research I've done, although those numbers are not bulldog specific. They also want to keep Herschel over night which I'm sure jacks up the price. Does this sound right? Recs for the Tampa area?

@ddnene had this done on her baby and might be able to give some insight but see is in TN. Maybe look to get a second opinion/price in your area? Also for the surgery be sure they do not use ACE , bulldogs are know to have issues with that drug. I forget the full name of it--- @TyTysmom

My whole heart, Tyson.
Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend, obviously never owned a Bulldog.

Re: Entropion Question?

I would love to get a second opinion. Our vet is n an affluent area and is not necessarily a bulldog specialist. We haven't had any issues with our vet yet but Herschel also hasn't been much of a problem. We haven't been given any recs for a bulldog vet in our area.

I'm in Arkansas and we have had both eyes done and it was 550 and no overnight stay . We've been through this surgery or some form of procedure 4 times.Best wishes for a safe surgery
